ITANAGAR, 25 Jan:<\/strong> The Indian Army and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) conducted a joint training exercise at Sigar in East Siang district, enhancing inter-force combat synergy and operational integration.<\/p>\n The six-day intensive exercise, ‘Agni Pariksha’, was held from 19-24 January, focused on strengthening jointmanship between the forces, defence spokesperson Lt Col Mahendra Rawat said on Sunday.<\/p>\n Spearhead gunners under the Spear Corps carried out the training alongside personnel from infantry regiments and the ITBP, making it a first-of-its-kind collaborative firepower training initiative, he said.<\/p>\n The primary objective of the exercise was to familiarise non-artillery personnel with artillery procedures, coordination mechanisms and the execution of firing missions, he added.<\/p>\n During the training, infantry and ITBP personnel were systematically trained to independently conduct multiple artillery firing drills under the close supervision of experienced gunners.<\/p>\n By exposing non-artillery personnel to realistic artillery employment, the exercise aimed at breaking traditional role silos and improving understanding of firepower integration in dynamic combat scenarios.<\/p>\n This approach significantly enhanced mutual trust, coordination and operational responsiveness among the participating forces, the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n This was the first phase of the exercise, and is being seen as a pioneering initiative towards developing integrated combat capabilities required for future battlefields.
